The offical Beard thread : Growing and maintenance

[Sonny Corinthos]

I just started taking growing my beard out and I have ways to go in order to get fullness : I hear uses a wooden comb is good .

What products do you guys recommend ?

How often do you wash and condition ?

How long have you been growing ?

etc.

 

[ahat]

Over a decade

Use argan oil

 

[queencity45]

I been growing mine out to for about 3 months now. Get a beard shampoo (I like mountaineer brand) to wash it a couple times a week. After you shower use a beard oil (I use Viking revolution) the oil is for the skin under the beard to help prevent dryness and itching. Than use a beard balm (I use Honest Amish made with organic ingredients) kinda smells alittle like black liquorish which i hate lol but works good and doesn’t bother me to much. This is to keep the beard hairs soft and will shape your beard hairs the way you want them to go. I’ve never had any itching by doing these 3 steps. Also yeah I use a wood comb and a brush that has boar bristles. Good luck

Really nothing. I have a straight razor, Andis outliner and Oster 76 clippers. I comb it and brush probably 3-4 days a week. Some days I just leave it alone. Probably condition it once a month. I’m really low maintenance with mines.

I line myself (with the Andis/straight razor combo) couple times a week. If you wanna learn how to edge yourself up, just to maintain it, if you can’t make it to a barber, just go on YouTube

I’ve been growing mines off and on for about 7 years

Anybody tried that Shea Moisture beard kit? Thinking about copping even though Scotch Porter has held me down.

 

[adobecs4]

I've been using JBCO to fill in a few weaker spots. Does argan oil help with that too?

 

[John Wick]

I use all honest amish products from the bar of soap, premium beard oil, and the beard balm and use a boar bristle brush.

I dont see how black folks can use a comb on their beard mines just snags pulls hairs out have to find me a good comb but i only use a brush right now.

you gotta wet it before combing it

don’t comb it while it’s dry

I've been using the Scotch Porter set (conditioner, shampoo, serum, and balm) for about a year now and recently picked up the Shea Moisture balm and oil last night. This morning was my first time using but off rip the Shea moisture's scent is not as loud as the Scotch Porter.

Dont get me wrong, the scent on the SP isn't bad but it would often clash with my fragrance. The Shea Moisture balm is also noticeably harder and almost wax like. I'm wondering if heating it up a bit would help before applying.

Going to see how it plays out over time. The price difference is crazy as well.

As a kid I said I’d never grow a beard. Only goatee...... my how the mind changes!! I never wanted full coverage. And fortunately I got blessed.

my homeboys be seeeeeeeething mad.

having a beard is like being great in every sport, and you’re not even really passionate about either of them

 

[marcielago]

Some good info in here. I’ve been looking for a good beard shampoo and exfoliant

Yeah I initially got the Scotch Porter off their website using a coupon, but I would never pay damn near $100 for that. I do like SP's balm, though.

 

[RIP sleazyy]

also have a scented beard oil from Dollar Shave Club that pairs well with my colognes

comb and brush regularly

Been actually putting effort In growing my beard out for probably 5 months now. Been trimming/cutting it at the barbershop and it’s finally starting to get full. It takes me a few weeks to get long though, I’m def not the hairiest dude around. Gotta let it grow and maintain and I’ll be happy with it at some point this year I think

gonna check out some of these products too, it definitely gets dry, plus I have (mild) psoriasis on my head so I’m worried about that popping up on my face

A couple months ago i realized I’ve never seen my dad without a beard

 

[shogun]

I trim my beard down to an 8 or 9 setting with my philips-norelco beard trimmer then line it up with a wahl groomer. I line my neck with a razor. Wish I could grow it longer but then the texture gets stringy and not full and looks gross. There’s a limit to my Asian beard genetics.
